63 T HE Eastern Shore Handicap was spoiled by the size of the field and the start. But what can one expect with a field of twenty-one runners starting on a track wide enough for only fifteen? Robertson told me that the barrier failed to operate, the tapes going up on only one side, and that Ladvsman, drawn on the extreme out- side, was caught and entangled. It seemed incredible that after that Ladys- man could have finished eighth. The case' of Caterwaul, the winner, was rather different. He had done well since finishing fourth in The Futurity, and had thirteen pounds off in weight.
